wow man

I was in Vietnam duckin’ & dodgin’ bullets, hand grenades & mortar rounds when Woodstock was going on (1969) but I got to see the movie when I got home so it was kinda like I was there.

Just now watching this ,leave it in original format.

Amazing. To have these moments caught on camera is just amazing and the fact that anyone in this video could look at this and mentally go right back there,is beautiful. Like it was yesterday for them

Wow

Wow… Leslie West…Santana….Janis….chick with the major white afro….Joe Cocker… Grace Slick and the Airplane, good crowd footage… sunset. Then at 6:06… we get some audio and News Channel 3 with Jay Colbe. Best summah evah!

Its hard to believe that this event came about because of a counterculture which was only a small part of the Baby Boom generation. Most Boomers were as straight as their parents and were unaware of a lot of the music, music which was made by freaks for freaks. It was lonely for the straight Boomers, girls who were part of the counterculture didn't want to have anything to do with them. They were angry and confused at something they didn't understand. A lot of that changed after the Woodstock documentary was released, many of those straight Boomers finally realized that their parents, the media and the authorities were misleading them about the "hippies". At that point, many of them started growing their hair and started smoking pot. Unfortunately they were unaware of the reasons why the counterculture came about, they diluted the meaning of things and it became just a fashion for them, it was the beginning of the end.

jajajaja cuando Leslie nota que esta siendo filmado revisa a su amigo por si lleva alguna droga :V

i wonder how many bands were invited but turned it down and went on to regret it .

Thanks for sharing....Very Nice.....

This is really good. This is historic footage. It is Eerie without sound amazing

Ki época maravilhosa pena ki nessa época eu só tinha 5 anos

Do you still own the original reels of film? because this footage could benefit from a digital transfer in higher resolution. I'd like to add sound to this but it's difficult with the quality. If you're interested in having a new transfer please let me know.

I saw Janis Joplin,Jefferson Airplane and Joe Cocker in the footage.Believe me it was Love,Freedom, Peace and Utopia.Yeah Man Yeah.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

Imagine being at Woodstock 1969? It's on my bucket list 😁

Visiting this site on the 50th anniversary of Janis Joplin's death. For anyone who doesn't know, this footage is remarkable not only for its depiction of rock and roll history, but for LGBTQ history: This is, as far as I can tell, the only film of Janis and her girlfriend Peggy Caserta (that's Peggy in the flowered minidress with Janis). It's wonderful to see the joy in both of their faces, and I only wish I had found this site in time to thank Jay for shooting and sharing this film.

From Costa Rica ✌

Es una joya de verdad ver una filmación desde otro ángulo y sobre todo quien lo filma esto son joyitas que muy pocos llegarán a entender 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Hey Jay! Thanks for posting your footage so that others can enjoy seeing some historical moments that would otherwise be lost forever, such as L. West & F. Pappalardi clowning around, or J. Joplin hanging out with M. Balin, or J. Cocker eating a peach! While you were filming Jefferson Airplane, you were on the side of the stage closest to Nicky Hopkins, correct? Did you have any interactions with him, or notice anything interesting that has stuck with you regarding Nicky? He played on Bobby Keys' only solo lp, and your former employers/friends Mountain also worked on that same record.

I'm glad there was no sound.. I can't stand 60's music.. Janice Joplin doesn't sing, she screams! But all those people sucked!!

too bad there's no sound

Hi Jay, were you at the 50 year reunion in Bethel last weekend? Here is a link to my channel with some interviews... Hope you like it. th-cam.com/video/4cJ0ksRd34Q/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for this !

Ive been to coachella and I bet that doesnt come close to the legend of woodstock. Id give anything to have been alive at that time

Interesting

This is great stuff. Gives you a feeling for the event that the movie doesn’t ☯️🕉🙀🐾

Hey Jay, did you ever meet Fred Weintraub? I think he helped finance Woodstock.

I was there... Some of my buddies and I decided the night before and we just went. I got there just in time to see the tall chain link fence go down...! I soon took a job selling hot dogs at a concession... all the food was gone in one hour. I made a small pay check for that. I saw a friend from my home town, Steven Tallerico who you will know as Steven Tyler of Aerosmith fame... He was in a very bad condition, if you know what I mean. The crowd continued to swell. I ran into a previous girlfriend and her sister who put me up in their tent. I stayed two or three days on then bummed a ride back to Westchester. I noticed a professional photographer on the stage take a shot in my direction just before I left and when the TIME Magazine special came out in December, spotted my distant image although without enough facial details to convince anyone but myself.

You musta had a blast! I'm soo jealous... 😑subbed

Sounds at 6:30 or so

It was all cool except for the smart ass making fun of spastic children!! Not Cool Joe Cocker!!!

That explains the first footage of Leslie West. Great stuff man!!!

Two guys in this movie look a lot like me! One guy at 0:55 and another at 4:00.

Thanks jay for sharing. Nice to see and nice sunset

no that was Felix Pappalardi,

LIke looking through some 'time portal' ...Very strange , even weirder without the sound ...

Leslie and felix sharing a funny moment absolutely priceless

leslie west and was that carlos santana

nice. Rare.

Hello, I am producing media for Warner Brother Records’ Woodstock 50th Anniversary releases and would like to inquire about using your Woodstock footage.

Thanks for sharing raw footage... precious gem!

AMAZING FOOTAGE BACKSTAGE ..THANKS ALMOST 50 YEARS AGO.... WHO WOULD HAVE DREAMED THAT IT WOULD BE SUCH A HISTORIC EVENT........

Nice .. Was the “fat man” Felix Papalardi from Mountain?

This was only a 3 day concert but sure left a mark on history!!

Fifty years ago i spent five days ....... my Dad drove us right up to the stage on August 14, 1969 they were building it, not that many people were there yet !on Friday morning i woke up and my eyes almost popped out of my head ,tents and cars everywhere it was the greatest time i ever had ,the feeling when i think of all the music was awesome but it he vibe was even better i felt safe i felt like everyone was connected like brothers and sisters, the hog farmers kept us fed , i stayed with my friend Leo all the way until Hendrix RIP Jimi and Janice . They’re having the 50th at Watkins Glen Aug 16 17 18 see you there!

Hello Jay! What would be the possibility of using some of this footage for a documentary project?
